She currently operates a private practice in Spokane and has work history in an agency, hospital (both inpatient and intensive outpatient), group practice, academia, and clinical directorship. Bethany's research interests include self-compassion, self-care, solution-focused and parts-based systemic therapies, and systemic supervision practices.

Her practice specializes in family therapy, particularly rejoining after cut-offs between parents and their adult children, and healing from religious trauma. Outside of work, she enjoys games, puzzles, and time with her cats.
